Gugny Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34168816/what-bobby-bonilla-day-explaining-why-former-met-gets-paid-119m-every-july-1 Mets aren't the only idiots (but they are the biggest). How rare is this arrangement? Bonilla last played for the Mets in 1999 and last played in the majors for the Cardinals in 2001, but he will be paid through 2035 (when he'll be 72). Here are some other notable deferred-money contracts, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information's Ryan Milowicki: • Bobby Bonilla (again): A second deferred-contract plan with the Mets and Orioles pays him $500,000 a year for 25 years. Those payments began in 2004. • Bret Saberhagen: Will receive $250,000 a year from the Mets for 25 years (payments also began in 2004; this was the inspiration for Bonilla's deal). • Max Scherzer: Will receive $105 million total from the Nationals that will be paid out through 2028. • Manny Ramírez: Will collect $24.2 million total from the Red Sox through 2026. • Ken Griffey Jr.: Will receive $3.59 million from the Reds every year through 2024 as the deferral from his nine-year, $116 million deal signed in 2000. • Todd Helton: Will get $1.3 million from the Rockies every year through 2023 as the result of $13 million deferred when he signed a two-year extension in 2010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I thought Bonilla was unique. by the way, back when I was a die hard Mets fan, I used to love Brett Saberhagan! I loved those early 90s Mets teams (Olerud, Hundley, Gilkey, Fonzie, Ordonez, etc.). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amusing that it was pretty much because of Madoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
